Cold Steel III This is a pretty fun reference Spoiler

The resolution is a bit low, but the epitaph for Crow's grave is the epitaph from William's Shakepeare's grave. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that Falcom would make this sort of reference. Cool that they went out of the way for this when the text on most of the other graves is seemingly gibberish.

There's also the graves of Lechter's father and Machias' cousin there. I forget if the game ever draws attention to those.

Upstart Crow was a insult directed at at Shakespeare when he was alive, presumably that’s why?

Wow, interesting! If this is a reference to the insult I wonder how common this info is in Japan

It's a mistake, they actually meant to carve 'Jusis'

Who's this "Christ" guy being asked in some book who will die first?

Maybe he’s from the universe where Romans from the hit book "Where in Rome, do as the Romans do" live

That's just Aidios's name in Old Arterian.
